Running up the hogou-protected chests of three classmates of increasing height in order to jump front kick and pop a balloon with my secretly modified "thumb-tack in the toe to give a sharp tip" shoe in order to show an audience that our TKD demo team was "teh deadly".

My instructor made me and my fellow classmates close our eyes and visualize an opponent while performing our forms/kata. While I have no problem with forms/kata, the whole visualization thing seemed really pointless.

My friend was taking Shotokan classes a very long time ago. He told me that his instructor was sued for abuse towards his students and barred from teaching Martial Arts. What lead to this was his instructor would have his students (mostly little kids) lay on the floor. He would go up to each one of them and stand on their stomachs. Unfortunately, the instructor was packing close to three hundred pounds of pure fat (maybe a little less, my friend just said the guy was pretty fat). This caused most of his students to throw up or suffer injuries. In the instructor's defense, this exercise is good for strengthening abdominal muscles.
